Posting from Vivaldi. :)

the browser seems to generate revenue from affiliate sites - links on the homescreen and prepopulated with shitloads of bookmarks to online services.

Which doesn't bother me in as much as the default theme is ugly but more importantly, page loading is dog slow.

an infamous US naval base is on Cuban soil.

Gallium3D (used by nouveau and others) includes a 'state tracker' for Direct3D. So in theory its possible to port Windows games across.

That's xorg only - I believe Android has a custom NiH framebuffery GL ES approach.

GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

Addition commonly uses the symbol '+' . Hence shouldn't that be

"GNU divided by Linux" ?

I use firefox for general browsing and paste the URL into Chrome for the remainder of sites that need flash (or choke Firefox's HTML5 video implementation)

Bottom line, Flash is still an attack vector but at least I know I'm conciously invoking it each time rather than relying on the vagaries of a blocker or click-to-play.

Servo is there to replace Gecko - you'd still be writing HTML5 apps in BootToServo.

Although someone has written rust bindings to EFL, so you could develop Tizen native apps in rust!

Well if nothing else, Tizen provides Rasterman with a full time job and indirectly benefits the E19 window manager, e.g. making it ready for the Wayland apocalypse. :)

The new trend, as per the aforementioned rust, is to target LLVM.

So there still may be places that the Gnu Compiler Collection can go that LLVM can't but port Clang and you get the rest for free.

Unions... Get a government job where the unions take Occupational Health and Safety to an extreme and you can request any darned whizzbang office furniture.

Call it an act of faith.

If patching old code does motivate even one vendor/carrier to get off their arse and release a security update then success...

Only a marginal benefit in running a 64bit OS on a machine crippled by 1GB RAM, I suspect.

Puerto Rico is American soil though, right? Can't Yanks travel freely there without a passport?

If the devices are locked to a regional carrier that would suck.

Has Uber been involved in a traffic accident resulting in injury of death?

What is the legal precedent here - can Australians sue a billion dollar US corporation for damages? Their whole business model goes down the toilet if the driver is inadequately insured and unable to pay.

Fuck any EULA on the app, if I were to become paralysed I'd want a 7 figure payout.

there was an announcement a couple of months ago that Electrolysis was enabled by default in the nightlies.

Trunk is several versions ahead of release.

So probably the release after this one, i.e. 36
